Wickhambreaux (/ˈwɪkəmbruː/ WIK-əm-brew) is a village and civil parish in the Canterbury district, in the county of Kent, England. The village is just off the A257 Sandwich Road, four miles east of the city of Canterbury. Since Roman times the village has had connections to the Church and the Crown, including being owned by Joan of Kent in the 14th century. The 13th-century parish church of St Andrew stands around a medieval village green along with other historic buildings.[2]
The village is in the south of its parish, which extends northwards to the River Great Stour. Other settlements in the parish are Stodmarsh and the hamlet of Grove, on the road to Grove Ferry. A bridge at Grove Ferry, on the parish boundary, crosses the Great Stour, and provides access to Upstreet in Chislet civil parish. The bridge replaced the ferry in 1962 or 1963. Grove Ferry and Upstreet railway station was on the north bank of the river, and thus outside the parish, until it closed in 1966.
